ELECTRICAL WIRING 

AND SUPPLY VOLTAGE:

All electrical wiring must be done according to 

local codes. Additionally installations in the USA, 

must conform to the current National Electric Code 

(NEC) and Installations in Canada must conform to 

current Canadian Electric Code (CEC). Nameplate 

data indicates the operating voltage, phase, 

ampacity, maximum over current protection, and 

minimum voltage. 

The contractor is to provide an individual branch 

circuit for over current protection for the unit as 

required by code. Some codes may require a 

disconnect between the indoor and outdoor unit. 

Run power supply wiring through a weatherproof 

disconnect box and conduit to the unit connection. 

Disconnects are required to be within sight and 

easy reach of the unit (usually within 3 feet). 

Circuit breakers and disconnect switches should 

be properly sized based on the required codes and 

the unit’s nameplate requirements. (Fig.12)

Check the unit wiring diagram for the number of 

conductors required. Ensure that the proper AWG 

(gauge) and type of wired is used to comply with 

code and the unit’s nameplate. Route neatly and 

protect from sharp edges and damage.

Inadequate wiring and/or improper electrical 

supply will likely result in failure of the compressor 

and other electrical components and voids the 

warranty.

Unit Wiring

WARNING

• Before performing any electrical work, ensure 

all power is off. Electrical shock may occur.

• All outdoor unit’s capacitor’s to discharge 

otherwise electrical shock hazard may occur.

• 

Ensure the unit is properly grounded.
